Season 2 - Episode 36 - Demystifying the World of Shotguns - a podcast by Heidi Lyn Rao

Continuing on from last week's podcast about the fundamentals of shotgun shooting, this week we'll explore some of the terminology that is specific only to shotguns and shotgun shooting.  Learn where the term "gauge" comes from, an explanation of what chokes are and how they are used, and exploring the words stamped on a shotgun shell box of ammunition.  We'll match up shotguns, to ammunition,  chokes to shot size, understanding lead vs. steel, and identifying modern-day smokeless powder.

Know your shotgun, practice at the range, perfect your gun mount, focus on the target, move at the same speed, and watch your shooting proficiency soar!
